New Powder Blue Petal Shelf Bust Honeymoon Party Dress w Crinoline – M, 1953
About the Item
A honeymoon dress that was never worn (because the groom shipped out to Korea immediately after the wedding), this dress is the pinnacle of femininity. Oozing with propriety, from its petal-gathered shelf bust to its attached crinoline.
Short sleeve dance dress with wide square neckline and front shelf bust with blue and silver lace modesty panel at upper chest and inset at back. Horizontal placket around full bust circumference with decorative bow and trailing tails at center back; full princess seams front and back for sculpted “fit and flare” silhouette. Side metal zipper closure with hook and loop at waist. Attached interior tulle crinoline with bottom ruffle and string ties; lined to knee in powder blue stretch mesh. On-seam slash pockets both sides; matching ½” self belt.

- Vintage 1990 Givenchy Haute Couture Sapphire Blue Draped Silk Velvet DressBy GivenchyLocated in Beverly Hills, CAGivenchy, the name itself evokes glamour, refined elegance, simplicity and style. Givenchy's trademark of sculpted lines and luxurious fabrics make his work easily recognizable. This gorgeous cocktail, dating back to his 1990 Fall-Winter runway collection, is a beautiful example of his brilliance. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; liquid silk velvet in the prettiest sapphire blue color. I adore the seductive criss-cross plunge bodice with lean, long zipper-wrist sleeves. The sparkling rhinestone-encrusted side buttons create the perfect amount of drama to this timeless piece. An hourglass nipped-waist skirt with side draping finishes this garment off with a perfect femme fatale vibe. It is an exquisite example of wearable luxurious from one of the most important houses of the modern era.
